I would start out by figuring out how many mEq per mL I have for the ordered and on hand. But I am no math whiz and often make things more complicated than they need to be.
Look at the Memory Book of Nursing. It has great pictures for memorizing things, disease signs and symptoms, fluids & electrolytes, meds, etc. There are different volumes. Get an NCLEX review book like Saunders, there are good reviews at the begi...

I would like to ask how do you get invited? Is there an application online? Are there certain dates that there are postings about this or are there events that are posted somewhere? Graduation is drawing near and I dont even know where to start, but ...
I am entering the program this fall, however it is through a dual joint program. I was required to complete chem 127, stats and History 127 in order to be accepted for the fall. All of the other classes were prereqs/coreqs for the program I am curren...

Just curious why you wouldn't recommend a Dr's office for a new nurse? I graduate in May with my associate's and begin my BSN in the fall, so was thinking that even.though I really wouldn't want an office job that I may need to settle for anything I...
That's why I keep my ears open and when I hear something interesting is going on I immediately ask if I can tag along, assist, or do whatever it is that needs to be done. I have gotten a chance to watch and do so many things that way. Sometimes you h...
I have really liked my clinical instructors so far. Progress notes were complicated and time consuming last semester (for my group anyway), so if there was a bad part that was it. I always enjoy clinicals, the yuckier the better! The only bad experie...
